The style of cooking also depends on the skill and education of the chef. Cooking is done both by people in their own homes and by professional chefs and cooks in restaurants and other catering establishments.
Cooking with heat or fire is a human-only activity. There is archaeological evidence that cooking fires existed for at least 300,000 years ago, but some estimates suggest that people started cooking as early as 2 million years ago.
